Bedford Athletics renovations
The Bedford Area School Board has approved bidding for various capital improvement projects expected to be in the $43M range, including extensive renovations to Bisons Stadium and a new HS gymnasium. Architect concept images:

How about the over-all configuration of the rest of the sports complex, such as the track and baseball field?
It ain't over until it's over.

The cost to build Blair County Ballpark in 1998 was $20 million. This is approximately $32 million in 2021 when adjusting for inflation and increased construction costs.
Hmmm...

There are obvious new constructions to the school building as well.

Re: Bedford Athletics renovations
There are no changes planned to the baseball and softball fields. The expanded parking lot will take an outdoor basketball court near the main track entrance. The soccer programs will use the Stadium turf and not the grass field inside the track. Along with the new gymnasium, auditorium renovations, HVAC upgrades, and roofing are part of the project.

I like the atmosphere of Bedford's stadium, but always felt the bleachers were a little too low to the ground and you couldn't always see. The press box also has some bad sightlines if you get the wrong seat. Definitely could use a little facelift.

Looks like Westmont is exploring upgrading its football field as well.
Talks of lights, turf, adding a soccer field, new track, better seating. I'd imagine a better press box too. Place could use a facelift for sure.
The upgrades at the high school are nice, the gym is now one of the best in D6 now.
